As I promised in this post, I have finally prepared the tutorial for the flower stud earrings… The earrings measure around 17mm (0,67″) in diameter. 1. String 1 x 11/o cylinder bead and 1 x 11/o seed bead six times, make a knot and pass through the beads, so your thread is exiting from one of the seed beads as shown…

Of course when my daughters saw my medallion beaded earrings they wanted a pair of their own. I should know by now that I should just make three of everything. Luckily, I love doing this! For them I envisioned a pair that was smaller and daintier. I basically followed the same pattern as for mine, except I only worked the first round. I think they came out perfect!

These earrings would be perfect for the 4th of July! Feel free to use the pattern to make yourself a pair (or buy them in my Etsy shop!). You will need to know how to do a two drop brick stitch and looped fringe.

I’ve been looking for an earring project for an April birthday gift and this week’s free project from Step by Step Beads, Crystal Corona Earrings, is perfect. It’s easy to customize with your favorite colors using materials you probably already have on hand. It’s also astonishingly quick–I finished the first earring in less than half an hour.

I thought I would try to make a “quick” pair of earrings to match the new Be Jeweled Bracelet pattern and about 10 cut-apart-and-start-over-designs later, this is what I came up with. I have put in parenthesis how I will refer to the beads in the tutorial.
